Last night one of the Axis of Dickheads called me 'Stinky'. He said it with what I assume was angry, and heartfelt sincerity, it was meant to wound, not amuse. He is almost 70 years old, and maybe I shouldn't have laughed. What a Dickhead. zoubisoudotblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/07/s...

This is high on the list of brave ways to live, equal to test pilot, and shark wrangler... zoubisoudotblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/07/s...

Ahhhhhhh... a cool 22℃ with a fresh breeze.

Eating an ice cream, 1 scoop thyme and olive oil, another of salted caramel. Feeling modern.

10.50, and it's already 41℃. Maybe I should keep my underwear in the freezer.

I am, I think, a tolerant man however people who use the word “pod” when talking about their podcast should be in a gulag, I feel.

Was supposed to return to hospital today, but it's been postponed because of the weather. I'd been looking forward to the climate-controlled environment.

Firemen are on the street selling tickets to their balls.

Well, I really loved Toy Story 5. I cried of course.

The air in the Jardin du Palais-Royal is swoony with the perfume from the roses

In hospital I was pricked, prodded, and poked, fingered, and generally manhandled, mostly by women, but womanhandled doesn't exist as a word... zoubisoudotblog.wordpress.com/2026/06/09/t...

Going home today. Woot. 🎈

Back in hospital for day or twofer tests, including transoesophageal echocardiogram (Tube down throat to examine my heart. Eurgh.) Top Tip: Stay young, stay healthy, kids.

The queue for the annual Flan Fesival at Fou de Patisserie starts forming before 8.30. Will be 50m long by 11.

Just learned that on Tuesday I will have a local anaesthetic, and they will stick a tube down my throat to look at my heart. This has been quite a week.

10 years after Brexit, the hangover. The lessons of 'Broken Britain'.

27° today, lads. Va va voom.

I came home yesterday. Walked to the bar in the evening (you couldn't stop me). First time walking in almost a month. Legs a bit hurty today. It will all be ok. x

New word learned in hospital - Debrancher - to unplug.

I know I say this every day, but I think they're letting me go home tomorrow. When I get there I will need a glow up. I look like Worzel friggin Gummage. And then I will go to the bar, take my first drink in almost a month, not smoke, and flirt like a midinette. x

The cardiologist told me I've lost 10k in three weeks.

Bum, I'm not going home tomorrow. But maybe this week.

I can hardly breathe, I might be going home tomorrow.

I really dislike the plain, giggly nurses' assistant who, for the last 2 days, has opened the door when she knows I'm washing nakedly, so I over compensate by being extra nice, and she came to weigh me I lept out of bed, pulling the catheter out of my arm. Idiot.

I could pull off a cape

#Eurovision 5€ on Israel to win, cheers.

So... there ae two 'We hate Jews' marches in London today, or have I misunderstood?

A plain, giggly nursing assistant, for the second day running, opened the door when I was trying to shower, She's only human, I know. "I need some privacy," I said. Perhaps I shouldn't have shouted it, but wtf. Don't think anyone will visit this weekend. This is hell.

Considering the nurse just changed the diuretic in my intravenous drip to a stronger version that will last for 24 hours, I doubt I'm going home this weekend. Couldn't be more depressed.

10.30. Been awake since 6. Took pills at 8. Today's activity may have peaked.

I found this interesting on yesterday's NYT lies about Israeli rapist dogs. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

I'm simultaneously rationed water, and also told I don't drink enough water.

Think Israel is going to do really well. Which will be fun. #eurovision

Eurovisionb semi started with sequence of 2 gay men watching on their sofa over the years. Ends with one drinking alone, the other one is dead.

Didn't Andy Burnham used to be nicknamed Bambi?
